Biden said something like this about Indian Media, American journalists got chilli, now White House clarified
American media is angry with President Joe Biden. The reason is that he praises the Indian media. Outrage has increased so much that White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki has taken the lead to calm the matter. He says that the President did not want to criticize anyone.
Washington: During the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to America, US President Joe Biden praised the Indian media, which has now become a problem for him. American journalists have got so much chill from this 'compliment' that now the White House has to present an explanation. Let us inform that during the meeting with PM Modi, Biden had said that the behavior of the Indian media is much better than that of the American media.
Jen Psaki defends like this
To pacify the angry American media, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki has taken the lead. He defended the statement of President Joe Biden, saying that he did not want to hurt anyone. The President said that American journalists are not always to-the-point. She said, 'I know that no one here wants to hear this, but that is just what the President wanted to say. His intention was not to hurt anyone'.
Criticism of the media was not the motive
Saki further said, 'I think the President wanted to say that if he wants to talk about Corona Vaccine today, then some questions may be related to this topic, but sometimes about things related to the same issue. Instead of asking questions, the questions go in other directions, I think he wanted to convey this to the American media. I don't think he wanted to criticize the US media with this statement.
Question raised in press briefing
During the White House press briefing, a reporter questioned the comparison between the American media and the Indian media. The reporter said that according to the list of Reporters Without Borders, India's media is at number 142 in terms of press freedom. While the American ranking is 44. In such a situation, how can the President even compare the US media with the Indian media?
To this, the White House spokeswoman said that after working with the President, after spending 9 months with him, after seeing that he has answered questions from the press more than 140 times, I want to say about this That President Biden has great respect for the press and he also understands the importance of a free press. We make sure that we have press with us when we are traveling, we have press with us when we are traveling abroad.
